Samenvatting

The two main areas in the human brain associated with language are Broca's and Wernicke's areas. Broca's area (BA) is responsible for speech production, language processing, language comprehension, as well as controlling facial neurons (language outputs). Wernicke's area (WA) is thought to be the language receptive center, which processes the words that we hear or read (language input). A large bundle of neurons, called Arcuate Fasciculus, connects these two areas. White matter pathology and morphology can be investigated by means of DT-MRI based fiber tracking. Previous study has shown significant differences between bilinguals and monolinguals in the ratio of the anterior midbody (AMB) and the total corpus callosum (CC) midsagittal areas [see Figure 1 Left]. The AMB is dedicated to primary motor and somatosensory interconnections.
